After Earth Page #2

how often are you wrong?

My wife would give a very

interesting answer to that question.

Graviton count's decreasing.

800 parts per million.

Well, sir,

there's a first time for everything.

Turn into it.

Match bearing.

Dad!

She's a dead stick.

Engines 1 and 2 are offline.

We're losing her.

- Can you travel us out of here?

- Where?

The anchorage, Lycia.

It's the closest.

Negative, sir. We cannot worm-hole

travel in the middle of this.

Do it.

Coordinates for anchorage

at Lycia locked in.

No confirmation signal, sir.

Travel us now.

Sir, without confirmation...

- That's an order.

Go. Go.

Cabin pressure dropping.

Heavy damage to outer hull.

There's a breach possible in middle cabin.

Find me something I can land on. Now!

I got something.

Bearing 3-4-0 by 9-5.

Range, 86,000.

Warning:
this planet has been

declared unfit for human habitation.

Placed under class-1 quarantine

by the interplanetary authority.

Under penalty of law,

Do not attempt to land.

Repeat:
do not attempt to land.

It's not possible.

The computer might have defaulted

back to a known demarcation point.

No. Not yet.

Travel us again.

- Negative, sir.

This ship is gonna tear apart

at any moment.

Set her down.

Mayday, mayday.

This is Hesper 2-9-9 heavy in distress.

We took heavy damage

from an asteroid storm...

...and are going down with bingo power.

You all right?

Evaluate.

Good to go.

You confirm the Ursa's contained.

The back of the ship is gone.

Rangers, count off.

Rangers, count off.

Damn.

The cockpit is directly above us.

Go.

Left rear.

There's a utility compartment.

Inside,

there's an emergency beacon.

Silver. Like a saucer.

Bring it to me.

Consolidate inventory up.

General Cypher Raige.

Crash landed.

Two confirmed survivors.

Kitai,

the emergency beacon you brought me

will fire a distress signal deep into space.

But it's damaged.

There's another one

in the tail section of our ship.

This is us here.

That, is the tail.

Somewhere in this area.

It's approximately 100 kilometers from here.

We need that beacon.

You understand?

- Yeah.

Both my legs are broken.

One very badly.

You are going to retrieve that beacon,

or we are going to die.

Do you understand?

- Yeah.

Repeat what I just said.

I have to go retrieve the beacon,

or we going to die.

You have air-filtration inhalers.

You need to take one now.

The fluid will coat your lungs,

increase your oxygen extraction...

...allowing you to breath more

comfortably in the environment.

You have six vials.

In your weight,

that should be 20-24 hours

each. That's more than enough.

Your life-suit and backpack...

...are equipped with

digital and virtual imaging.
